It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for! Mayor Tom “Grampy” Potter is going to announce whether or not he’s seeking re-election on Monday, at 11:30 am in council chambers.

For what’s possibly the first time in Potter’s reign as mayor, he’s doing something earlier than expected—Potter’s been saying he wasn’t going to announce his decision until his birthday, which is next Wednesday.

What do you think he’ll decide? My money—or at least my hope—is on retirement. It’s not that I dislike Potter that much, but I do look forward to the ripple effect of open seats a Potter retirement would create.
